Google Chrome browser privacy plan investigated in UK

This seems like a 'good' thing if it reduces the number of ads,

Google's plan to replace web browser cookies with a system that shares less data with advertisers is being investigated in the UK.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said Google's plan could have a "significant impact" on news websites and the digital advertising market.

It had already raised concerns that publishers' profits could sink if they were unable to run personalised ads.

But Google said digital advertising practices had to "evolve".

@zleap everyone going "shit if google changes something whole markets could sink" and yet they're not considered too monopolistic.....

I hope moving from cookies will create a better ecosystem but if Google still retains the power they have we're still in trouble
